History:

1988 – Purchased through local So Calif. dealer who found the car at Brumos Porsche in Ga. (car had a few hundred miles on it)

The suspension is made up of 935-style coil-overs, and brakes are the stock 930 units. A Fuel Safe cell, fire system, Schroth racing harness, full roll cage, kill switches (in and out), and a Recaro racing seat have all been added for performance and safety, and further weight reduction comes by way of lexan windows and a lightweight racing battery. Included are two sets of 3-piece wheels (17” and 18” diameters 91/2″ front and 11 1/2″ rear), and extra parts include the original headlamps and windscreen wipers.

The engine is the stock 3.3 liter displacement 930 unit that has been upgraded with a KKK27/13 turbo charger, Garretson intercooler, stock oil cooler and Behr front oil cooler in the front air dam. It breathes through a K&N air filter and cold air intake. The transmission is the 930 4-speed with 9:38 ring and pinion with close ratio gears (I 20:32; II 23:30; III 26:27; IV 29:23). The photo below shows that the engine is as clean underneath as it is on top. The car has not been raced since 2006, but has been run and warmed up every two weeks to keep parts happy according to the seller.
